Coolwazabi Posted March 24, 2008 Report Posted March 24, 2008 just wondering.. anyone use one before ? cause I just got one hopefully it'll be louder than a FI BL 18" and the ELE is gonna be a 12" but with 2500w instead of 1500w hopefully build coming soon..
thegr8cody Posted March 24, 2008 Report Posted March 24, 2008 if you look through some of my old posts i had the ele 18 its sitting on my shelf waiting to get reconed 1998 gmc sierra h/u:eclipse cd3200 sub:dd9518g d1.5 amp:jl e300/4 sub amp:dd m2a front stage:id ctx65cs dc power 270 alt lots of kicker 1/0

Coolwazabi Posted March 25, 2008 Author Report Posted March 25, 2008 yeah... i was kinda in the grey area about that... but i don't have a van anymore.. just a sedan that'll play a factor too...
Boon Posted March 25, 2008 Report Posted March 25, 2008 yeah... i was kinda in the grey area about that... but i don't have a van anymore.. just a sedan that'll play a factor too... So you end up with roughly 1/4 the cone area and not even double the power? All maths point towards you being A LOT of db down, assuming everything else to be equal. I know there's enormous differences in reality, but the BL and ELE just aren't different enough that you're going to see the same numbers from a 12 compared to an 18. 2x power = +3dB, 2x cone area = +3dB (in theory) So you went +3db for power and -6dB for cone area, so you're 3dB down out of the box ;/ 10.x volts fo' life!
AI James Posted March 25, 2008 Report Posted March 25, 2008 yeah... i was kinda in the grey area about that... but i don't have a van anymore.. just a sedan that'll play a factor too... as stated before if its louder then the 18 you had a horrible 18 install
